And this means every Baltimore police officer's life is now in more danger than ever.

Vile political hack.

"But it is not known how the injuries, which overall are consistent with what medical examiners often see in car collisions, happened. "

My question therefore, is how can they rule this as a homicide?

I thought her speech was very good. She said her family was generations in law enforcement.

[cripplecreek]

I agree with the union’s call for an independent prosecutor.

This one is practically chanting “No Justice, No peace” which is a clear signal that she has no intent of seeking justice.

[Cementjungle]

The clear signal here is: Rioting and looting works.

"Police brutality is completely inexcusable. I'm going to apply justice fairly, even to those who wear a badge," said Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore state's attorney. (Cassidy Johnson, Baltimore Sun)

How many of the looters and burners of property will she prosecute? How about the mayor who told cops to not defend the city? Will Mosby prosecute her?

Bueller? Bueller?

I hate the Sharpton crowd et al, and I hope they get their comeuppance on this, but she's right. I've reviewed the fact that have come out and BASED ONLY ON THOSE there is cause for an indictment.

1. Freddie Grey broke his back in the police van.

2. Plenty of prisoners thrash around in police vehicle, it's very, very rare that they do it fatality.

3. It would take a lot of force to fracture 3 vertebrae, and a collision at a decent speed.

4. Confined in a 6 to 80 foot area, it would be difficult for a handcuffed man to obtain the velocity to fracture 3 vertebrae in a collision with a hard object.

5. It would NOT be unusual if subject to a sudden stop or jolt at 25-30 miles per hour.

6. Police will sometimes give “extra service” to unruly prisoners in the back of a police van - that includes sudden starts and stops, driving over curbs, etc. Just ask your urban police friends, it happens from time to time.

7. The driver of the van made an “unscheduled stop”

8. The driver of the van has refused to make a statement.

There is not enough evidence here to result in a conviction “beyond a reasonable doubt” certainly, but there is enough for an indictment.

The thugs in Baltimore just keep on thugging....

[jasbd1985]

I really wish there was more info on this, which understandably will not come until much much later. I’m really not sure how to feel about this. The kid was clearly a drug dealer with well over a dozen arrests. I would assume that was all the probable cause the officers needed. Just seems strange to me that a kid can die of a broken back while riding in a police van. I just hope this is a fair investigation and not some means of calming the locals. This kid may not have deserved to die but he certainly wasn’t a good person. Good, honest, innocent people are hurt every single day, who don’t get any media attention at all. Why do these thugs warrant any of this attention. I just wish these people could open their eyes and see reason.

[eyeamok]

Nobody but the police officers that were present really knows what happened, so here is my only question::

If you and I put a person in the back of my van and did not force them to put their seatbelt on, then show up 30 minutes later at our destination to find the person Nearly DEAD with a Broken Neck and what appears to be injuries from a Car Crash,
Do you think we would be ARRESTED for Manslaughter??

You bet your ass we would, no questions asked.

[Cubs Fan]

Just heard this DA got A $4,000 campaign contrubutions from Freddie Gray’s lawyer.

BTW anybody know why there’s no grand jury on this one, but there was in ferguson.

ALSO the case is still murky, with the witness in the van, and and the securing issue, which IMO sounds like negligence not murder.

[biggredd1]

I watched 30 seconds of this bitch screaming into the microphone, then shut the scumbag off.

[babygene]

If you were driving your minivan with a kid in it without a seat belt had an accident and the kid broke his neck, do you suppose you would be charged (homicide)?

I would guess probably yes...

H/T to our FRiend Markomalley for the post.

And the next venue for the Leftist Racism Road Show is about to be booked. Just as in Ferguson, and Sanford, and Los Angeles, and Noo Yawk...

The stage is now being set for a public trial of LEO's, held to an impposible standard in what will be the court of public opinion - guaranteed to ignite more riots regardless of the verdict - and the race tensions escalae.

All according to plan...

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

[Clint N. Suhks]

None of these charges will stick.

[Vaduz]

Probable Cause = Fame and $$$$$$

Sharptons go female

[Rebelbase]

Let’s have the trail with the defendants found innocent and they can finish burning down the town.

[Theodore R.]

We need Spiro T. Agnew back in MD!

[Cboldt]

Gotta have a trial to appease the thugs. Angela Corey ran George Zimmerman through the wringer just to appease - not saying that's for sure what is going on here, but DA's can maufacture a case.
